The Conflict

A conflict scene that could be used for generating an academic dilemma would be when parents and their children have opposing viewpoints regarding politics. Personally, I have dealt with this dilemma for the beginning of my young adult life until current times. My parents are extremely conservative and Republican. Myself, I am more in the middle. For example, my views on LGBT is that, it is none of my concern or business who a person decides to choose as their significant other. I am especially in no place to judge. However, I also do not favor PDA, from straight or homosexual couples so I do not necessarily want public displays of affection occuring in front of me. My parents, believe that it is not natural and that it is a hormone imbalance. I do not know whether or not that is a proven fact or not, but I do believe that if it was a hormone imbalance, that fact alone does not make it a sin. This difference between my parents and I have made many conflicts arise between us. I would have friends that would come out as bisexual, and have relationships with the same sex. They wouldn't flaunt their relationship flamboyantly so I respected them and never judged them. My parents felt differently, they started to question my sexuality because all of my homosexual friends. Although I did see where they were coming from, I have always remained confident in my straight sexuality. My parents would also heavily judge and criticize my friends, making me quit frustrated with their behavior. In my eyes, my parents were acting more immature than a twelve year old. On the other hand, they have a right to viewing homosexual relationships the way they do.

Eliminating Remedial Math and English

Remedial English & Math In my opinion, remedial English and math classes should be eliminated from community college curriculum. I have formed this opinion based off knowledge after reading about students that are unable to succeed in the California community college system because of broken remedial education systems. According to College Campaign, 75% of all California Community College students are tested and placed into these remedial courses, teaching and focusing on basic skills. Students talk about getting caught up in courses based off curriculum focusing on teaching basic skills but prevent them from entering college level curriculum. This would also result in them not reaching their goals and dreams because of the inability to move past remedial curriculum-based courses. However, these courses are still beneficial for the students that are realistically at that level. I propose that instead of eliminating this curriculum all together, that they are minimize...

But get rid of the guns?

Guns Personally, the second amendment and the topic of firearms is touchy when it comes to me. I am a stern supporter of the second amendment and the right to bear arms. I will never be convinced that the citizens of the United States should be stripped of the right to firearms. However, I am even more of an advocate for safety. I have gone through the process of barely renting a firearm to practice sharp shooting. I have seen first hand the process it takes to own a firearm. The training, background checks, and precaution that is taken to make sure the person buying th firearm is not going to wrongfully harm themselves or another. I have gone through NRA certifications and trainings, along with the rest of my family. My opinion is that guns are not the harmful thing, the person behind the trigger is the true enemy. Firearms do not seek out danger and they do not harm others on their own. However, a human will seek out danger and a human will wrongfully harm another human. Stripping c...

True Grit

My Grit On a level from 1-10, my grittiness would be a weak 8. I say this because I am determined but lazy. I get all of my responsibilities and tasks done with full effort and by my deadlines. However, I put my responsibilities off until the absolute last minute. It's quite the cliche, but I truly believe I do my best work when I am in a hurry. I wouldn't give myself a 9 because I am very lazy and irresponsible with how I prioritize aspects of my life. For example, if I have homework that is due in a week, I will probably not touch it until a few days before the deadline because I thought a nap was more of a necessity. I will not give myself a 7 because I have so much determination to see myself get where I want to be and become successful at what I am passionate about. I see myself continuing my education until I am at where I want to be in my career. I want to be an agricultural educator and FFA advisor for high school students. I also want to have a lamb farm to sell offsp...
